GE Ice and Freezer Designs
GE ice makers come in several designs, including dual ice maker, undercounter ice maker, in-door ice maker, and in-freezer ice maker, and each one fails in its own way. Freezer styles include side-by-side refrigerator, chest freezer, top-freezer refrigerator, and upright freezer.
Know Your GE Ice Maker
What a GE Technician Deals With
Depending on the model, the ice maker can sit in the freezer, in the fresh food section or in the fresh food door, and daily output runs roughly 3 to 4.5 pounds by style. Source: GE Appliances - How much ice should I get in a day?
The icemaker fills from the rear while its thermostat sits at the front cube, so a slow fill or a freezer colder than about -10°F can eject the rear cubes before they are solid and leave them hollow. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - Hollow, Mushy, or Small Ice Cubes
What GE Says to Check First
- Freezer warm on the outside. GE says chest freezers shed heat through the cabinet and uprights have case heaters to stop sweating, so a warm exterior is normal if clearance is adequate. Source: GE Appliances - Warm Freezer Exterior
- New ice maker not making ice. A new ice maker often ships switched off and can take up to 24 hours to get cold enough, and it cycles a few times to purge air before the first fill. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator - New Icemaker Not Producing Ice
Reading a GE Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| dE | The defrost system has not operated properly in the last 24 hours. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| E and 7 | On an upright freezer control, a button has been held in for more than 30 seconds. Source: GE Appliances - Freezer Error, Fault or Function Codes |
| E and 8 | On an upright freezer control, the temperature sensor (thermistor) is shorted; needs service if a 30-second power reset doesn't clear it. Source: GE Appliances - Freezer Error, Fault or Function Codes |
